Revisiting Our Driving

See Key for Rainforest Climate Assessment Tasks.

If students struggle to apply their understanding, have them pause, reexamine the models they created in previous lessons, and then resume the assessment. They should apply the ideas they noticed in the models when they continue. If students struggle with interpreting the maps, work with them to orient what the maps are showing. For example, on question 2, you can ask students to draw the locations of the rainforests on the maps of average ocean temperature and prevailing winds.

As students finish the Rainforest Climate Assessment Tasks, they can work on the optional Revisiting Our Driving Question Board to evaluate our progress on any remaining questions on our DQB. You may wish to extend or move the examination of the DQB to the next day.
